Less than five minutes into the Pistons-Suns preseason opener, Detroit's John Collins went for Dillon Brooks' throat after Brooks pushed and forearmed him and later hit him in the face swiping at the ball. Collins got a flagrant 1 for 'contact around the neck' and Brooks a technical. Detroit won 109-107 on a game-winning layup by rookie Ebuka Okorie.
